How to host with Wimdu

Create your listing

You can list an entire apartment or a single room on Wimdu in just a few easy steps. You control the appearance of your listing, including the description, price and house rules. We can even assist with taking photos and translating the description.

Accept bookings

Once your listing is published, you can start receiving booking requests from guests! Once you receive an email notification for a booking request, you have 24 hours to accept it. Use the Wimdu messaging system to reply to questions and arrange the key handover.

Welcome your guests

Before receiving a guest, make sure your place is clean and tidy with fresh sheets and towels. When your guests arrive, meet them to hand over the keys, show them around and explain the house rules - a few tips about the neighbourhood are also useful!

Receive payment

24 hours after your guests arrive and have checked in successfully, Wimdu automatically transfers your payment to your bank account. Since Wimdu takes care of the transaction, your payment is safe at all times.

Leave a review

Reviews are an important part of Wimdu and ensure that our platform is built on trust. Leaving a review of your guests means they are more likely to review you in return. Happy guests leave positive reviews, which means others are more likely to book your place in future!
